In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the banana cream instant pudding and the crushed pineapple (with juice) until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Gently fold in the maraschino cherries, diced strawberries, miniature marshmallows, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and sliced bananas into the pudding mixture.

Carefully fold in half of the whipped topping into the mixture until it's just combined. Then, add the rest of the whipped topping.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Before serving, stir the salad gently, transfer it to a serving dish, and garnish with additional chocolate chips or maraschino cherries.
